A judge on Thursday blocked the federal government from requiring the founder of Domino's Pizza to provide mandatory contraception coverage to his employees under the health care law.

U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff granted a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the contraception provision of the law against Tom Monaghan and Domino's Farms Corp., a management company located near Ann Arbor, Mich.
------
"It is in the best interest of the public that Monaghan not be compelled to act in conflict with his religious beliefs," Zatkoff wrote.

Monaghan is a Roman Catholic and said in his suit that he considers contraception a "gravely immoral" practice. He offers employees health insurance that excludes coverage for contraception and abortion.
------
The Associated Press left phone and email messages seeking comment from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services after business hours Thursday.

In its response to the suit filed in December, the department denied the health care law had a substantial effect on Monaghan's exercise of his rights to religious freedom or freedom of speech.

How frustrating! I guess it depends on what judge you have as to whether you have to comply with the Obamacare ruling. Why is this company exempt on religious beliefs and not Hobby Lobby?
All companies with religious objections will spend all their money in court for the next ten years, hoping to get the right judge.

I wonder how long it will take the DOJ to appeal this decision.

I wonder if Hobby Lobby's suit came up yet. They do not want to fund abortions.

"It's not fair that some will be exempt & not others, depending on the judge"

Yep, it's not right.
